Onuachu on target in Midtjylland win over Horsens

The 23-year-old forward made the points safe for the Wolves as they rolled past Bo Henriksen's men at the MCH Arena in Herning

Paul Onuachu was on target in Midtjylland’s 4-2 victory over Horsens in a Danish Superliga game on Friday evening.

The hosts got the game started courtesy Alexander Soerloth in the 13th minute. Jakob Poulsen swung in a cross from the left and the forward volleyed home past Jesse Joronen.

Mikkel Qvist then drew the visitors level ten minutes later. Right-back Jonas Thorsen swung in a cross from the right and after a scramble in the box, Qvist managed to turn the ball past Jesper Hansen.

Filip Novak restored the hosts' advantage in the 41st minute. Kian Hansen sent in a long throw from the left and Soerloth's header found Novak at the back post to head into an open goal.

Mikkel Duelund made it a two-goal cushion for the Wolves in the 75th minute. Soerloth embarked on a solo run before laying the ball off to Duelund who calmly dispatched past Joronen. The Yellow Danger, however, will not go down without a fight as they pulled a goal back courtesy Thorsen with four minutes left in the game.

However, the Nigerian striker put the game beyond doubt in the 87th minute. A long ball over the top found Soerloth and he laid the ball off for Onuachu to apply the simplest of finishes.
